A 40 years old daughter of Angola's president, Dos Santos. She is 'no role model' in an oil-rich State where most get by on $2 a day. She is a woman of means, a fact now revealed by Forbes, the US financial magazine, which has named her as Africa's first female billionaire.
She is the eldest daughter of President José Eduardo dos Santos, president of Angola, the continent's second longest-serving leader, who has served for 33 years.
Forbes found that Isabel dos Santos's shares in several Portuguese firms, including a cable television company and an Angolan bank, put her on the billionaires' list for the first time. Most of the population in the southern African nation live on about $2 a day.
Dos Santos was born to the president's first wife, Tatiana Kukanova, in Baku, Azerbaijan, where he was studying at the time. As the child of a guerrilla fighting for Angolan independence from Portugal, she had few prospects of fabulous wealth.
She attended a state school in the capital, Luanda, at a time when there was no private school alternative in Angola. Her net worth, a little above $500 million. She a businesswoman, a role model, a daughter, a wife and a mother of three. Isabel is truly a woman of means. Or do you think she stole from Angola? I doubt that but if she did, she did well with what she got. She profitably trade what she had for more.
